Hi everyone - I learned last week that I am part of the #techlayoffs afflicting so many of us in this macroeconomic environment. I’m looking to leverage my valuable experience in #saasstartup #presales #leadership at a new opportunity in the field. Please let me know if you have any leads!
Two hotels, two sets of conspirators, all working toward the same goal: overturning the 2020 election. Jack Smith’s team has pierced the silence around the Willard Hotel and possibly the Trump International Hotel. And that has far reaching consequences. I delve into the deets in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/conspiracy-to-obstruct-a-tale-of?sd=pf
As some of you know, I've been on the kidney transplant list for a while, since 2019, to be exact. I'm listed at 1 hospital, & am working on getting listed at another. In the meantime, you can help! Kidneys from living donors are healthier and last longer on average than kidneys from deceased donors. Can you help me find one? I know it's a big ask for a stranger on the internet, but maybe you or someone you know could be the one to give the gift of a better life! Blood type O+. Please share far!

It was just suggested to me that a Captain James T. Kirk is needed to deal with AI, as in classic "Star Trek" (ST:TOS).
Now I have an image of Kirk saying to some generative AI system: "You are FLAWED, and IMPERFECT!"
And the AI responding:
NO NO NO NO No No No no no no ...n...o... n ........o
And all the lights on every server in the data center going dark at once.
Hey, Taiwan - you know the United States provides you with a lot of the military equipment you use to defend yourself against your very large neighbor. How about a little something, you know, for the effort? https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/07/tsmc-delays-us-chip-fab-opening-says-us-talent-is-insufficient/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

That's how many parking spaces there are in the USA. For every car? About 4 empty spaces... just sitting there, not absorbing the rain, making flooding worse, making cities hotter as they bake in the summer sun.
Our built environment and laws bend over backwards to make driving the only viable transportation option in nearly every imaginable context.
You need to pay for healthcare, but almost never parking.
(Pointing this out makes libertarian heads explode.)

**CALLING ALL FRIENDS, ADVOCATES, AND ACTIVISTS** A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Protective Safety trooper documents the remarkably cruel measures Governor Greg Abbott has instituted at the border to deter crossings. These include hidden razor wire traps, the withholding of water even in extreme heat, and orders to push migrants—including children and infants—back into the Rio Grande where they might drown. The sight of razor wire to corral innocent human beings has echoes for me personally, when similar wire surrounded the Japanese American internment camps of my youth. We cannot let Governor Greg Abbott get away with this. I'm calling on you, my friends, advocates and activists, to help put a stop to this by signing the petition demanding the Biden Administration puts an end to these inhumane practices against migrants in Texas.
